Peggy Sue Bodell
[edit]- Charlie, it's like there's this window into my heart and you can open and crawl in whenever you want. Well, I've got to close it or nothing is ever going to change.
Charlie Bodell
[edit]- Well, what's the point of being a teenager if you can't dress weird?
Dialogue
[edit]- Evelyn Kelcher: Peggy, I don't mean to be intrusive, but are you having problems with Charlie?
- Peggy Sue: A lot of things are confusing right now, Charlie is just one of them.
- Evelyn Kelcher: Is Charlie pressuring you into doing things you don't think you should be doing?
- Peggy Sue: What do you mean?
- Evelyn Kelcher: Peggy, you know what a penis is? Stay away from it!
- Peggy Sue: I am a grown woman with a life time of experience that you can't understand.
- Charlie Bodell: Yeah, girls mature faster than guys.
- Michael Fitzsimmons: So are you going to marry Mr. Blue Impala and graze around with all the other sheep for the rest of your life?
- Peggy Sue: No... I already did that.
- Michael Fitzsimmons: But we had heat, baby. Passion! Fire! We owe it to ourselves to fuse together, at least one more time.
- Peggy Sue: Oh, that's a good line. You are gonna be a terrific writer.
- Michael Fitzsimmons: You think so?
- Peggy Sue: Yeah.
- Peggy Sue: We had one glorious night together, someday you'll remember and write about it.
- Michael Fitzsimmons: Yeah, I can dig that. Bittersweet perfection. Dogs of lust on leashes of memory.
- Evelyn Kelcher: What's the matter, have you and Charlie had a fight?
- Peggy Sue: Yes.
- Evelyn Kelcher: What about?
- Peggy Sue: House payments.
- Peggy Sue: Then you think time travel is possible for people?
- Richard Norvik: Yes. It's absolutely possible for people, for dogs, for cancan girls.
- Peggy Sue: Oh, then I'm not crazy.
- Richard Norvik: Well, I really don't know if you're crazy. I know most people think I am.
- Richard Norvik: [about time travel] I would be very careful about this if I were you. What if you fall into the hands of some madman with plans to manipulate your brain?
- Peggy Sue: Well, that's why I was getting a divorce!
- Peggy Sue: It's funny. It's really funny. You bought an Edsel.
- Jack Kelcher: Young lady, what's the matter with you? Are you drunk?
- Peggy Sue: Uh, just a little. I had a tough day.
- Peggy Sue: Grandpa, if you had a chance to go back and do it all differently, what would you have changed?
- Barney Alvorg: Well, I would have taken better care of my teeth.
